Born and raised in Mumbai, Pranay was always into tech. Everything from the coolest cellphone to the shiny Ipaq (yeah its dated) Pranay always wanted it. At one point Pranay had gone through, 15 cellphones in three years.. we had a source. Leaving home to go to boarding school at 15, it was a life changing experience. Pranay was free to make and be responsible for his own decisions. Great friends were made and long term associations were formed. After graduating, Pranay decided to go to Sunderland, England and decided to study something which till date my family wonder what it meant : Interactive Entertainment Systems. The few inches of snow was a bit too much, and hence Google Maps was opened up and plans were drawn to move to San Francisco and study at the Academy of Art Univesity and study New Media design aka something to do with website, graphic design, animation, interactive and multimedia according to 99% of the people Pranay meets.

After graduating Pranay moved across the Bay to Santa Clara, to work with Avaya Inc, a telecommunications major as a user interface production artist and maybe even as a human factors engineer, Pranay have absolutely no idea. It was a fabulous experience where Pranay got to work on Avaya’s mobile as well as thin products. providing graphical elements and UI design for Avaya’s one-X mobile application.

Having to return back to India to help the family, Pranay formed multidimension|studios, a creative digital agency as well as helping my father with his company Rubycon Electrical and Electronic Industries.
